Also, as the name implies, an HTTPS server can create # a one time key to send to the applet (the user has already # logged in via password to the HTTPS server). # # Note oneTimeKey is to provide a CLIENT Certificate for the viewer # to authenticate itself to the VNC Server. # # There is also the serverCert= Applet parameter. This is # a cert to authenticate the VNC server against. To create that # string with this tool specify -certonly as the first argument. certonly="" if [ "X$1" = "X-certonly" ]; then shift certonly=1 fi in=$1 der=/tmp/1time$$.der touch $der chmod 600 $der openssl pkcs8 -topk8 -nocrypt -in "$in" -out "$der" -outform der pbinhex=/tmp/pbinhex.$$ cat > $pbinhex <
